RE: Eurasian or Russian? Maybe Feral?
A few more tidbits of useless info about our tasty porkers. The pureblood european hogs have a dense wool undercoat during the winter. That is one of the first characteristics they lose when they are crossbred with domestic stock. With their straight snout, they have no problem swimming and will take to the water readily to avoid dogs. The largest pure euro boars will only go 400 lbs or so. Domesticscan reachover a 1000 lbs. There are also an ancient breed of mule footed hogs [single hoof instead of cloven] that still roam the coastal areas of the Carolinas. They were dropped off by the Spanish or Portugese explorers pre colony period. The last I heard, they were on the endangered species list.
